My wife is running a marathon at the end of April so I'll be there for a few days. We're going to a Reds game the first Monday in May and also will hit the Cincinatti Zoo, but what else should we see? Any recommendations? Thank you!

    Hrmmm, get stuck in a snow storm.
    Roads so bad that you can't make it to the airport.
    Flights cancelled, stuck for what seemed like an eternity.
    Fall down stairs, have a bruise that has lasted 3 weeks.
    Drive drunk and back up into a car.

    Yup, thats about it. Have fun!

    Kings Island - not sure the rides are even open in april are they?

    Union Station is cool.
    Stay away from the east side of downtown... oh and the west side too.. oh, and south across the river :)

    there is an aquarium across the river which is nice :)

    By the way, are you asking about Cincinnati?
